The recipient of this year’s generous Alcoa Aluminium Sculpture Award is announced as West Australian artist, Stephen Tepper who is awarded $10,000 for his artwork titled Suddenly Everything’s Changed’. The artist writes of his work:
‘The exacting, sculptural beauty of shell skeletons that are so engaging emerges from a confluence of geometry, mechanics, ecology, evolution, and sheer luck! Each skeleton shape presents a detailed record of the everyday events and unusual circumstances that mark an individual’s life. It’s a reminder of nature’s complexity and splendour’.
As the exhibition celebrates its 21st anniversary, we also celebrate 21 years of support of the artists and their endeavours through aluminum support from Founding Sponsor, Alcoa Australia.
